A Montgomery man was sentenced Thursday to 10 years in federal prison in connection with a 2016 Highland Avenue shootout.

Christopher Gilcrest, 34, was found guilty in June 2017 for being a felon in possession of ammunition, a felony charge.

The charge stems from an Oct. 23, 2016, incident when three people were shot, including Gilcrest, outside the Value Gas Food Store on Highland Avenue.

Gilcrest pulled a gun during an argument with another man in the store parking lot, according to a Department of Justice release. When the man pulled out his own gun, Gilcrest shot him in the leg.

Prosecutors say Gilcrest fired his gun at least six times, with the other man returning fire. Three people were struck during the exchange, including Gilcrest.

Gilcrest was previously convicted of illegally possession a handgun as a felon in 2009. He will not be eligible for parole in the federal system and will be subject to three years of supervised release following his decade-long sentence.
